 GEORGE III SILVER WINE EWER
John Wakelin & William Taylor, London, 1785

 

 

 

    

 

         

 

       

 

Of elegant form, the ovoid body beneath slender flaring neck and curved spout, surmounted by a conforming

knopped hinged lid, circular stepped pedestal foot and applied loop handle; the body engraved with an armorial

shield, contemporary script monograms engraved verso: T.H over R.S.M

 

Condition: Excellent; crisp marks: the lid marked with a lion passant

 

Note: Wakelin & Taylor were very important late 18^th century silversmiths.  Wakelin appears

in the Jewel Office accounts in 1797 as “Goldsmith and Jeweler to the King” for several

items. Georgian covered silver wine ewers are somewhat scare – especially with silver handles.
